Yes, I did.  

But more noteworthy to me was how all the kids my age called their elders "sir" or "maam."  

Should add that my mother was a Texan, and her dialect was part of my daily life in the North.

When I got in trouble at home she would say things like "Yo' Daddy's gonna clean yo' plow" and similar phrases.

And of course I heard "y'all" daily. In Texas my cousins would mimic me saying "you guys." And laugh.
